Abstract
A network management system includes a schema storage storing a system schema which describes a conceptual structure of a computer network to be managed. Based on input information of two system elements and the system schema, an information acquisition procedure is generated and is used to acquire information of system element and association linking the two system elements from the managed computer network.
